I pity our poor firemen, in the good old days they were considered to be fit, healthy, strong and courageous individuals who would put their lives on the line for those in danger from conflagration.
These days, under Nanny, they are regarded as being somewhat lesser mortals who need to be rescued from life's many "dangers".
Nanny's chums from the Health and Safety Gestapo of Bedfordshire and Luton Fire and Rescue Service have ordered that firemen, who are trained to climb 300ft ladders, not mount (can I say "mount"?) small step ladders when fitting smoke alarms.
The alarms will, in future, be fitted by some Heath Robinson type 13ft "telescopic rod"...Oooh Errr Missus!
Suffice to say, the firemen think this idea is a load of old bollocks and note that they are trained to climb ladders (actually!).

If I was a fireman, I would be too embarrassed to go to work!!
ReplyDeleteNot long now before the fire service (in their nice new uniforms including long skirt and female muslim firefighter-friendly headscarf) are ordered not to approach any fire, chemical spill, trapped old lady in a lift or cat up a tree.
ReplyDeleteSomeone, somehow, has definitely put something in the world's water supply. You just don't get this sort of global madness without mass delivery of psychedelic hallucinogens.
My theory is that the dolphins have done it, just for a laugh.
Don't you mean 'firelighter friendly'?
ReplyDeleteAnd who provides this pole? Oh that's right, a manufacturer of smoke alarms! A nice little earner as Arthur used to say...
ReplyDeleteI wonder if they are party donors too?
